for what thing is this code for ?

 

for the page listing in the upper left sidebar at http://www.poolplayersforhire.com/

 

You should take a look at this plugin it's for the navigation bar but may work:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-link-manager/

Also you might want to change the permalinks to:
%postname%
or
/%category%/%postname%/

Go to Settings/Permalinks and enter it in the Custom field

 

replace

with

bob25, thanks, but i'm a little wary of the plugin because there should be a very simple way to edit the php to exlude this page. just havent figured out what it is yet. but thanks for the heads up about the permalinks.

jalpari, i tried both options but neither worked. the Questionnaire link still appeared at the bottom of the page listing.

please advise. thanks.

 

anyone? please help. thanks!

 

Hey sixrfan,
you can use exclude page plugins for exclude any page from navigation.
